Tennessee Confederate Soldiers buried in Crown Hill Cemetery Indianapolis This file was donated by Don Allen who stated the following on 7 Feb 1997: "The list of those from Tennessee who died at Camp Morton has been compiled by me from Camp records available at the State Archives, and from period newspaper accounts of deaths of prisoners and by comparison to the Monument markers. Some names are obviously wrong on the marker and may be spelled incorrectly in the newspaper accounts. In order to be safe and sure, interested descendants should verify this information against the soldiers compiled service record if possible." The information is part of this book below: "Tennessee Confederate Prisoners at Camp Morton" by Don Allen. Softback 8 l/2 x 11, 135 pp., complete name index, cl996. Purchase from Don Allen, 225 Orchard Point, Zionsville,IN 46077, $23 postpaid. Review from "Middle Tennessee Journal of History and Genealogy, vol. X No.3" : Civil War buffs will find this fascinating compilation of materials of great interest. The emphasis is on the 32nd Tennessee Infantry Regiment, which is composed primarily of Confederates from Marshall, Lincoln, Giles, Franklin, Bedford and Maury counties. It contains a history of the regiment as well as a list of soldiers from the regiment who were held at Camp Morton, Indianapolis, Indiana. It also includes the names and death dates of Tennesseans who died at the prison and a list of those buried at Lafayette Greenbush Cemetery. Allen has enhanced the publication with special touches such as prisoner correspondence, newspaper articles and several very nice laser illustrations and color photos. It is footnoted and includes a bibliography. Although it is self published and printed, the book has an attractive format and a professional appearance. Be aware of the fact that the index does not include the names in the various lists which are alphabetical and thus not time consuming to search. Newest edition has an every name index. ************************************************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.

Originally, the soldiers were buried in wooden coffins and their graves were marked with either wooden or stone markers. There were estimates of in excess of 1600 burials of confederate soldiers in Greenlawn when it was used by Camp Morton Prison during the period of February 1862 through August of 1865. As the area around Greenlawn became more and more Industrialized, local inhabitants gradually discontinued it's use. Many of the graves of the local inhabitants were moved to Crown Hill Cemetery in the early 1900's, and by 1930 Greenlawn was in a state of disrepair, and was closed entirely, with the remaining graves being transferred to Crown Hill. It is possible that some of the Confederates were moved by their families to be buried near their homes following the war. No consolidated record is now in existence recording such moves. A large stone Marker Monument was erected in 1912 by the U.S Government on the site at Greenlawn. In 1928 it was moved from the Greenlawn site to what is now known as Garfield Park, on the south side of Indianapolis. The monument still stands and includes a Brass Plaque containing the names of those Confederates thought to have been buried at Greenlawn. The Confederate soldiers' remains were transferred from Greenlawn in 1933 in 25 wooden boxes, en mass, to Crown Hill Cemetery and buried there in a mound marked with a six foot stone monument, which was inscribed, "Here lies the remains of 1616 unknown Confederate soldiers and Sailors who died here while Prisoners of war." At Crown Hill Cemetery in October 1993, as the result of an effort initiated by Mr Stephen Staletovich of Indianapolis, and pursued by many others, the Department of Veterans Affairs errected a larger monument and ten separate stone base markers, with brass plaques listing the names of the Confederate Soldiers thought to have been moved there. The dedicated and time consuming effort to identify and mark the graves and to honor these soldiers is very much appreciated by present day descendants. There are, however, still some questions that each descendant must verify for themselves in reaching a final conclusion as to the location of an ancestor. Research into newspaper accounts of hospital deaths, and the rolls and rosters of the individual regiments, indicates that there are some duplications on the markers, some name errors, and some burials missing. Some listed on the marker are possibly buried in Lafayette Greenbush Cemetery. The below list of Tennesseans includes some corrections which where found but in no sense is it a final and completely accurate accounting. Name Co.
